Craft beer picks for tonight’s FCS national championship football game

If I had to pick just one beer for tonight’s FCS championship game between the Montana Grizzlies and the Villanova Wildcats, that would suck. Luckily, I can pick as many as I want.

So, with that in mind, my first pick for tonight’s game would be…

Well, the weather in Chattanooga is nasty with lots of rain and chilly temps. So I’m thinking maybe a good porter with lots of roasted malts and some hints of chocolate would be good. Maybe a Deschutes Brewing Co. Black Butte Porter or a Kona Brewing Co. Pipeline Porter.

But then again, most of us in Montana will be watching the game from the comfort of our homes or possibly a sports bar, and a porter might be too filling too fast. In that case, I could really go for a big IPA, maybe something classic in the style and local, like Big Sky Brewing Co.’s IPA or perhaps a few cans of Kettlehouse Double Haul IPA, one for each half.

The national championship game is a big deal though, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime deal for a lot of people, unless you’re a Griz fan or a Grizzly football player of course. Maybe this occasion calls for something just a little special. Maybe a decadent Noel des Geants from Des Legendes in Belgium, and which you can pick up at Worden’s Market right now. There is also the Insanely Bad Elf, which makes a nice Christmas beer to go with a sweet, sweet victory.

How will you celebrate?

Prost,

GG
